methylviolet10b and I will each be posting on our journals a small ficlet of either 60 words or a single sentence inspired by one of Arthur Conan Doyle’s classic canon Sherlock Holmes cases. We hope you’ll read along with us and join in the fun yourself with a miniature story of your own!
Today’s adventure is The Beryl Coronet, in which a great treasure of the Empire is put into grave danger and only Sherlock Holmes is up to the task of preventing certain disaster. If you’ve never read it, please check it out and then maybe try your hand at a small ficlet inspired by it! Join us on our little adventure, won’t you? You can find more information here.

60 for 60: Week 2: The Beryl Coronet
An offer to split the meager roast beef sandwich in Holmes’ pocket was all it took to get the hungry valet’s tongue wagging, in more ways than one. The detective listened as the man chewed and chattered, gossiping about his employer between bites.
Gentlemen often require alcohol to lubricate conversation. For workmen, just a little meat and bread can do.
Next week on 60 for 60: from The Return of Sherlock Holmes, Black Peter. A notoriously dangerous man of the sea dies in an act of savage violence. No one is sad to see him go, but who could have possibly done the deed?
